I love macaroni and cheese!! My Dad used to make it when I was a kid and it was my favorite thing he cooked!
Elbow noodles 1/2 box (I use Barilla)
4 tablespoons of butter
1/4 finely diced yellow onion
about a 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
3 1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/2 bags shredded Colby jack or Mexican cheese
4 slices American cheese
1/3 bag of Cheez its crushed
Bring a large pot of water to a boil add noodles and boil about 6 minutes, you want them al dente. While noodles are boiling melt butter in a medium sauce pan and add onions. cook on med until onions are translucent. Add flour to your onions and cook for about 2 min stirring constantly should be similar to a paste but not as thick. If it's to thin add more flour, to thick add a little more butter. After the 2 mins whisk the milk into the onion mixture. stirring often add all the cheese and mix till smooth and completely melted. Drain the noodles and add to a buttered 13x9 pan stir in cheese sauce and top with crushed Cheez Its. Bake on 375 for about 20-30 mins. Cliff likes his cheese a little browned and crispy so just keep checking till it looks nice and golden.
